Pastiche
In art and literature, a work that imitates another's style, or a medley composed of fragments from an original. The intention is normally homage, rather than ridicule (as in parody). In art, a pastiche is an image that borrows styles and elements of other pieces, but is not necessarily a direct copy.
In The Waste Land (1922), T S Eliot included allusions and quotations from a variety of sources such as nursery rhymes, Dante, and Kyd, all within a few lines of each other. Some writers and topics have been particularly prone to pastiche, for example Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.
